Light Hiker (Gifford) - Crew
A classic knit pattern. Gifford is based on our most popular ORIGINAL FIT style. A balanced base layer with a lightweight profile, strategically-placed LIGHT cushioning zones, and the ‘custom-fit-feel’ of our patented ‘Y-Line’ knitting structures. While we call it a light hiker, it’s remarkably versatile, comfortable, and loved for all sorts of wearing occasions.

Finer Fabric, Better FIT.
Whole Foot Comfort begins with premium fabric. That’s why we ground our knits with a higher quality 18.5-23.5 micron ‘fine-gauge’ merino wool. The kind typically used in luxury formal wear. This gives FITS a distinctly different, and superbly soft, feel unlike any other performance sock. Because no other sock is made like FITS.
All Day Comfort Guaranteed

Quality!
Very happy with the thickness and comfort of the light hiker. Washes well, will pull slightly if you don’t air dry
Best sock on the market
I have slowly replaced my cheap cotton socks with various FITS styles. I love the comfort, breathability, durability, and their ability to reduce odors. More colors please!
A Massage for my Feet
Every time I put on these socks I say "Ahhhh". They way they hug my feet feels like a great massage.
Light Hiker Crew - women
I love my FITS socks! They conform to my feet and hug them all day long. The Light Hiker fits nicely in my shoes without bulk. I wear a women’s size 12 narrow shoe and bought the x- large sock. They fit my foot nicely and reduce the pressure on my calf. I wash them inside-out and try not to dry them in the dryer. FITS fit great!
What I was looking for
I initially found your socks at a ski shop. Had read about them, so I bought a pair to see how they were. They were just what I was looking for, so I went online and purchased the Light Hiker and that was excellent as well.
Love them
Keep my feet warm and super comfy. No rubbing. Stay in place well

Have always enjoyed Fits. First discovered the product in McCall Idaho.
